Yesterday someone nice brought me to a new cafe tucked away in an old sch compound at the Mountbatten area. It was a great find - prices were reasonable, food was delicious and the place was pretty uncrowded/laid back... And I took more food shots! The only thing though was that you end up smelling like food at the end of the meal, cos there's no separate kitchen :P

Little details matter

Cafe counter- these days, the white bathroom tile finish seems very popular. I've seen it in several new F&B joints.. I wonder why. Perhaps to give a very clean sort of feeling.

Starter platter, with fish cake, 5-spice roll & calamari. Teeny bit sinful but satisfying.

I'm actually not a fan of squid ink pasta, but they did up this dish really nicely here. Very tasty with spicy undertones... yummier than ones I've had at some Italian restaurants.

Guess what this is for? The flower motif is so cute.

It's a cutlery/napkins holder!

Home/lifestyle items on sale at the cafe.

Yesterday evening I also heard (for the first time in my life) a cat caterwaul. I didn't know it was a cat noise till someone pointed it out to me... It was quite scary actually and sounded like a baby/woman howling miserably... Now I can understand why cats can wake ppl up in the middle of the night (no offence, courtney :P) When I wikied cat caterwauls online, also came across a para that said cat usually dun typically meow to each other but express variations of this tone to humans "to demand food or attention, register complaints and convey bewilderment" The last bit cracked me up... Cats must think we are a weird lot...? Maybe they meow back in bewilderment when ignorant adults like myself attempt to "meow" to them (occasionally only lah when I spot stray cats on the streets), thinking that's how we can communicate with them.
